It was a great shave this morning!

Razor: Gillette Aristocrat
Blade: Personna lab blue (shave #5)
Soap: Stirling bay rum soap
Brush: Semogue boar
Aftershave: Aqua Velva musk

Despite the fact that I’m on my 5th shave with the Personna blade, it was a smooth and close shave this morning. The Stirling is as slick as always and I love the scent of Aqua Velva musk. All things considered, it felt like a luxurious shave!

What a great way to start the day!

Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Brush: 'The Archduke' (Brad Sears Archduke 26/50 2-Band Manchurian)
Soap: Oleo Soapworks 'Rougére'
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / RazoRock Aftershave Wax

I was in the mood for giving 'Rougére' a run today, as I was beginning to look like a hobo! 'The Archduke' did an awesome job of whipping up a very lush lather, and the Weber/GSB combo provided a super smooth, BBS shave, which I really was ready for...

Jayaruh #287
Gillette 195 Fatboy
Astra SP
CWR
Thayers Lemon WH
Barbasol

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Soap Commander Renewal Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #287 brush. I did two passes with the Gillette 195 Fatboy Razor with an Astra SP blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

You will buy more you know.

BTW, how do you like the bamboo handle? I quite like mine (mated to a RR German 37 slant) . Even though it looked like it might get slippery, I've not had any issues.

This is the 3rd time I`ve tried the Focus Dynamic, from Italy. I just can`t find the correct angle to flatten the face of the razor against my skin. Did a whole WTG pass without any success (only occasionally did it work properly). I have several pivot head razors and a Oneblade Core coming, so I just might put this one in the TSD market Place(to help pay for the Core). I finished up with 2 more passes, ATG/WTG. An XTG and more as a clean up, using an SMX3 cartridge ( 5 th. shave). With that many passes I finally finished up with DFS+. Satisfied here. God Bless.
